north by northwest (airlines)

greetings all from the great white north! i've been in minneapolis since midday yesterday. i traveled here to attend a human embryonic stem cell course at the university of minnesota. it's late and i am very tired, but i wanted to jot off a quick blog. i am really appreciating this nice cool weather here after the obscenely hot streak we were having in pittsburgh. from what i have seen of minneapolis so far, it is a beautiful city and i definitely wouldn't mind coming back someday for a vacation. today was the first day of the course and it went very well ... very informative, and also a very long day! i'm going to head to bed now, but hopefully i will be able to get some of my photos uploaded soon (horribly slow and spotty internet connection here), and maybe tomorrow evening i will feel more up to writing a blog. until then, goodnight!
